songwriters from ohio, ontario, pennsylvania and west virginia

The Threepenny Opry at The Starlite Lounge goes international this weekend:
Ohio's Jason Quicksall;
Ontario, Canada's John Allaire;
Pennsylvania's Robert Wagner;
and West Virginia expatriate Tom Breiding

The backroom of The Starlite opens at 8:00, and the music starts at 8:30. There is no cover, but we suggest a $10 donation to keep these traveling minstrels safe and well-fed. (And we hope you come out to support these guys. We'd want them to tell people in other cities that Pittsburgh is a great town that supports music.)

As you know, we invite you to bring your kids.
Later Saturday night after the Pirate game, Jack Erdie and Robert Wagner will appear on KDKA-Radio with Carol Lee Espy to talk about The Threepenny Opry and play a few songs.

And next week, we have Jack Harlan coming all the way from Vancouver.

Sing Around the Campfire at the Three Penny Opry

"Hey, Mrs. Wilson, can Bobby come out and play?"

"No, Bobby has to stay at home and babysit on Saturday nights."

"But Mrs. Wilson, didn't Bobby tell you that he's allowed to bring his little baby sister to The Starlite Lounge for Campfire Night?"

"No, he didn't. Are you sure Campfire Night is safe for baby girls?"

"Well, sure it is. We start at 8:30. We're done at 11:00. And all we do is sit around and play songs, and everybody can either sing along or play along or just listen. Everybody's invited."

"Would I be allowed to sing 'Take These Chains from My Heart'?"

"Why, sure you would, Mrs. Wilson!"

"Well, then. To heck with Bobby. Me and Mister Wilson are bringing our baby girl to Campfire Night and Bobby can stay home and wash the dishes."

"How about, to heck with the dishes and bring the whole family instead!"

"Why, that's a lovely idea. Bobby, go fetch your guitar and your baby sister's diaper bag..."

CAMPFIRE NIGHT IS AN OPEN SONG-SWAP.
NO COVER. CHILDREN WELCOME. ALL MUSICIANS INVITED.
